Mission
The Columns Journal of Undergraduate Research aims to promote the sharing and dissemination of student led research and scholarship conducted by Undergraduate students at the University of Missouri. We strive to execute this through two distinct functions:

1) Host biweekly meetings that encourage active engagement and discussions centered around Undergraduate research and scholarly work.

2) Produce and publish an annual journal that highlights research and scholarship conducted by Undergraduate students across all disciplines on the Universities campus.

The Columns Journal welcomes submissions from all fields of study, providing a platform for both scientific and creative scholarship. We intend to foster a community where all students can present their work, receive valuable feedback, and contribute to the dissemination of research at the University of Missouri.
